Les Chiens Catalans 2018, France 

This mid-weight Carignan/Grenache blend really is the dogs.

You may have seen our spacecats wine - or Felicette, to give its real name. The same producers now bring you the dogs, made from grapes grown near the Spanish border.

Made from 80% Carignan and 20% Grenache its bursting with curranty notes, + a little smoke and spice (though it hasn’t seen any oak). Perfect to take to a BBQ - but make sure your hosts open it!

Also good with new season’s lamb, pork chops, roast chicken, long lazy Sunday lunches. Uncomplicated fun.
